A new regulation clearly stipulates the phenomenon of sky-high bride price, emphasizing that women are not allowed to take the initiative to ask for bride price. This provision has attracted widespread attention and discussion. Let's take a look at the story behind this new regulation and the thoughts it triggers, my name is Li Ting, I am 28 years old this year, and I was born in an ordinary working family. I work for a foreign-funded company, and my life is fairly stable. However, my marriage became a heart disease in my family.
on the Internet.
My boyfriend Xiao Zhang and I met in college and have always had a good relationship. But when we talk about getting married, the issue of bride price has become a hurdle between us, Xiao Zhang's family conditions are average, but he works very hard and is motivated. He believes that the bride price is a bad habit and hopes that we can get married in a more modern and concise way.
My family, however, has a different view. They believe that the bride price is the man's respect and gratitude to the woman's family, and it is also the guarantee for the woman to marry into the man's family. If the man does not take the initiative to give the bride price, the woman's family will feel very shameless.
Faced with this situation, I was very entangled in my heart. I know that the bride price is just a formality, but it has a special place in my family's heart. I also understand Xiao Zhang's thoughts, and I don't want him to feel pressured because of the bride price.
Just when we were in trouble, new rules were introduced. The regulations make it clear that a woman may not take the initiative to ask for a bride price. This rule gave me hope to solve the problem, and I began to communicate with my family to tell them what the new rules were about and what they meant. I explained that the bride price should not be the only criterion for marriage, but should be the embodiment of the feelings of both parties. If the man takes the initiative to give the bride price, the woman cannot take the initiative to ask for it. We should respect each other's thoughts and feelings and express love and respect in a more modern way.
After some communication, my family gradually understood my position. Although they still had some apprehensions, they finally chose to support our decision, and in the end, we had a simple and warm wedding. There is no sky-high bride price, no cumbersome ceremonies, only the blessings and laughter of relatives and friends on both sides.
This wedding made me deeply realize that love is not measured by money. What it requires is genuine dedication and mutual understanding on both sides. The introduction of the new regulations has also made more people aware of this, and now whenever I talk to my friends about the bride price, I tell them about my experience. I hope that through my own work, more people will realize the disadvantages of sky-high bride prices and the significance of the new regulations.
